i've been called a wimp and a loser. ouch. I guess i'm just a loser with an audited track record of +689% from 1996-2001 with a 7 figure account. Listen 2002, it will be impossible to ever agree on what the "top 1%" made during that time. If it works in my favor, you'll complain we left out this and those, and these. It will NEVER work. The answer to how much % the top 1% made is NOT CLEAR-CUT. But I will follow the advice of my friend elcubano. He says, "This is what the bet should be.....That you have or havent made 689% over a six year period with a seven figure account...this alone is a great feat....it doesnt matter what other traders have done or if you are in the top 1%......the problem is we wont know if they are really your records or if they are real to begin with." This sounds fair to me, and easy to prove. I just produce the audit. Now how much do you want to bet on this? Caution, it needs to be worth my while, at least $25,000 that I'm telling the truth, or not.
